.htaccess is a small text file that's installed either directly inside a domain folder or inside a subfolder to tell the web server how it must address requests when a site or a folder that's part of it is accessed. Many popular scripts including WordPress and Joomla™ use an .htaccess file. If you get a considerable amount of fake traffic to your Internet site, for instance, you may block the access of particular IP addresses and third-party websites, or you could request the visitor to enter a username and a password in order to see the content. You could also set up URL forwarding or use custom error pages for your website, prevent other websites from linking to your content directly and from using your account’s traffic quota, and so forth. An .htaccess file gives you significantly more control over your Internet sites and the way they operate.
